    Thanks again rs65 - I do have anxiety problems and panic attacks so I am probably blowing it out of all proportion :o Sorry - I have never been in this situation before.

    Do you think he should wait longer than Tuesday for the new documents if they are not with the dealer by then ?

    If he doesn't get them by Tuesday should he phone DVLA and ask if they have received a request to change the registration ?

    Am just worried he has spent a lot of money on a car he cant drive and don't want him to get into trouble with DVLA / insurance company.

    Probably best asking these questions on the Motoring forum.
